Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is developing a new, optional split design for Android’s Quick Settings and notifications panels, separating them into distinct pages. This “separate” view will require swiping from the top right for Quick Settings and top left for notifications, contrasting with the current “combined” view. While the feature’s release is uncertain, it’s actively being developed and might appear in a future Android 16 quarterly update. Google is set to roll out

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET There have been times when a group text gets out of hand. This can be especially true if there are a lot of people in that group. I've been part of group texts with more than 20 members, and I can tell you from experience that it can be frustrating to deal with. Although recent Android releases have finally started grouping notifications, those group notifications can get in the way of seeing individual messages, which can often be more important than

Andy Walker / Android Authority I bet we all have a love/hate relationship with notifications. They’ve become a necessary part of our digital lives, yet they can also be endlessly annoying and overwhelming if not controlled.
